Childhood Memories
A Memory of Kingskerswell.
Hi my name is Maria Brown (maiden name Zalmen). I lived in Kingskerswell up until 1967 when I was seven. We then moved to Australia. I have never forgotten this lovely place and in 2005 I decided to come back and relive my childhood memories. Back in the 1960s we lived at no.13 Bourne Road in a lovely little white house. I remember living next to a field where my rabbit used to escape to and where I use to roll down the hill inside a barrel. I remember pushing my mum up the hill to the milk bar because it was such a steep road - I don't remember which road, it might have been on the post office side of the main road. I also remember going to a coffee shop with a big red chair in front of a cuckoo clock. I used to have an orange juice and raisin toast when I was there. I can still smell the aroma of the coffee they served. I don't know where this was though. Maybe Newton Abbot? I used to go to the old Kingskerswell school, which is now a community centre. I am trying to get hold of the school magazine from the years 1965 to 1967. If anyone reads this and was in Kingskerswell around the same time as me it would be fantastic to hear from you on the memories page.
